Chol is playing very well for the suns. He's been a good pick up for them

Clearly enjoying not having to play 3rd/4th tall. Casboult has been very handy as well - limited player but doesn't lack effort

    Wonder if he'd like playing 1st CHF in a top team?

    Would need to get Melbourne-fit first though.

    Its only one goal to replace them.

    Looks like 2022 Saints is what everyone was expecting in 2021. Paddy Ryder is just such a game changer for the Saints. More than a little happy to see the Blues go down as well.

    In a few minutes, we will be the only undefeated team after the first four rounds………. and  we are yet to get out of second gear!  It’s a long season, but gee, we a are a class above right now!

    Makes our modest win over GC in oppressive conditions look better now. GC are a very good side at least early in the season and at home.

    Don't like getting ahead of ourselves but it really is ours to lose.

    Did not see those last 2 games results coming. I gave the saints a chance but to win by that much is great. 

    At least we can look down on other teams now

    So ... Demons win. Check.

    Geelong win. Damn.

    Pies lose. Check.

    Dons win, just. But in a way that has their fans spitting chips. Pass mark.

    Hawks lose. Check.

    Blues lose. Check.

    I rate this weekend 8/10

    I can't get this comment from Goodwin out of my head after the win at GC.

    Are we seriously just riding games out to preserve our bodies?

    I'd say so. Our more chaotic / high pressure style is unsustainable week in week out for 4 qtrs. Looks like if we get a comfortable lead we're content to park the bus.

    It was the same as the game against Melbourne. Once the sun goes down at this time of the year the ball is like a cake of soap. That combined with the natural fatigue late in the game.

    Percentage can be built by keeping the opposition scores low. If believable what he said we must be the only side that are pacing themselves on game days. We did have 2 short breaks and perhaps a wise decision to not run ourselves into the ground like some other clubs have already done. Defence uses less energy than offence.

    Ryder bump very similar to the one May got pinged for in his preseason game for us - should cop a week

    shouldn't, and shouldn't have. He  stopped and the "victim" cannoned into him.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
